Locate and analyze a business professional’s oral presentation. Ensure that your presentation (video) is of an actual business presentation and not one designed to teach others about how to prepare a business presentation.
Business men and women spend a lot of time standing up and giving presentations to a wide variety of different audiences. Whether delivering a report before a board of directors or delivering a sales pitch in front of a group of potential customers, effective business presentations can make or break an organization. According to psychologist Albert Mehrabian (1971), when it comes to how people interpret a speaker’s message, 7% comes from the words they choose, 38% comes from the speaker’s tone of voice, and 55% comes from the speaker’s nonverbal behavior. You don’t want to downplay the importance of words here, but how a speaker says them and the way they present them is crucial to ensure you create the meaning you desire in an audience’s mind.
